Hello....

Hi everyone.

Just popping in today to share with you my latest card.

I have used a stamp from Gorjuss -  "I Gave You My Heart"  which is unfortunately not listed in the store at the moment but may still be available if you wish it to be ordered in for you.  There are however lots of other Gorjuss Stamps listed in store at the moment.  The stamp has been coloured with Copic Markers.

I have stamped the image onto a Memory Box Die base frame called Cherise Label and then matched it with its matching die,  Tiffany Frame.  Both of these dies are old releases.

The bling accents, patterned paper and flowers are from Card Embellishment Kit no 8, which is currently out of stock but should be back soon.  The Hello Sentiment is a die  from Penny Black. 

Don't forget to join us in  our latest challenge, we always love seeing your creations.

Thanks for looking and have a fabulous week.

Happy Crafting

Once Upon a Time - Roses ....

Hi everyone, today I am popping in to share with you my new card.

I have been playing again with the Blue Butterfly Digi Stamps from Bizzy Becs Online Store.  I have been wanting to enlarge one of the girls faces for a while now.  The image I choose is from the Once Upon a Time Collection and is called Roses.  You can find her and her friends here.  

Yesterday in Perth was so cold and wet, it was a perfect day to sit inside and colour.

She has been coloured with Copics and Prisma Pencils and was such fun to colour.  I have also used Card Embellishment Kit No. 8 and she has been printed onto Copic Paper (Bec has a similar product in store Neenah Cardstock) and  then die cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities die - Fleur De Lis Squares.  The sentiment is a freebie and available here from the store blog.

The stocktake sale is still on but only for a limited time so drop by the store for all your crafty needs.

Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Friends are Flowers

Hi, today I would like to share with you a card I made using a new stamp that is available to pre-order through Bizzy Becs store by Tiddly Inks called Friends are Flowers.

She is a delightful stamp that comes with 2 sentiments and is very versatile.  She is coloured  with copics and I have used some left overs from card kits that are available in store.  The ribbon and sentiment are from my own stash.  Bec has just put together some more amazing card kits which are available right now  here.  They include Christmas kits and kits for mens cards.

There is still plenty of time left to join in with this months Clean and Simple challenge and to be in the running to win "Best Pals" stamp from Crafters Companion.

Happy Crafting

Dream

Wow can you believe July already!  Oh boy you can tell July is here the nights are getting colder.  Our 10 y/o fur baby is feeling the winter this year, even with her jacket on she still has a little shiver and snuggles a bit deeper.

School holidays start today and am on two weeks holidays, yay lots of sleep ins coming my way.

Today is also the start of a new challenge at Bizzy Becs and this month the theme is "Anything Goes" and is by DT Francy.  The prize this month is a Memory Box Die - just love them.

Congratulations to Anna for being the winner of the June Monochromatic challenge - gorgeous card and the ladies who made top 3.

Today for my card I decided to not have an image but to work with the Card Embellishment Kit and a Memory Box Die.

I have used Card Embellishment Kit # 1 and Memory Box die - Tiffany Frame the only thing that I added that wasn't in the kit was a few rose buds.  

Memory Box dies are available for preorder in store here  the new July collection has just been added to the store they look awesome  and the Card Embellishment Kits here there are only a few left these are very popular and sell out quickly, but I am sure will be back in stock soon.

Thanks for dropping by, keep warm and happy crafting.

Until next time

Hootie Pie the Owl

What another wonderful weekend we are having.  Having said that I haven't seen much of it so far I am attending a two day workshop near Guildford making a vintage themed journal  complete with photos, lots of vintage fabric and lace and other embellishments. Day one was lots of fun laying out our pages and starting the process of attaching.  Only saw the sunshine for brief moment when we sat outside for lunch after a stroll across the street to browse in a local scrapbooking store.  I am positive that it won't be completed today as there is so much to do, but the structure will be in place.

 Today I would like to share with you a tag I made using a new range of stamps that are available for preorder in the store here and are part of a very cute collection of stamps.

Introducing Hootie Pie the Owl, it is part of a set of 5 unmounted owls called Stitched Owls from Pink Cat Studios, they are so darn cute.

Also I have used Memory Box Dies - Picket Fence & Hot Air Balloon and Poppy Stamp Die - Simple Banner.  The paper, flower & ribbon  is from Card Embellishment Kit No 1.  All of these an much more are available to order from the store here.  The sentiment is by me which I created in Word, the owl in the centre is a rubon by October Afternoon and has been part of stash for many years.

Remember there is still time to join in this months Monochromatic + One challenge.

Thanks for dropping by, enjoy your weekend too.

Happy crafting

Burlesque Bessie

Well this year is certainly flying by very fast June already!

Since my last post I have been on a craft camp. Had a fabulous weekend 3 days  crafting, creating anything we wanted, no dishes or  housework so much fun.  Can't wait until the next one which hopefully will be towards the end of this year yippee!

Now being that is now June that means  challenge time again at Bizzy Becs.  Each month the DT girls get to choose the challenge theme and this month it is my turn.  Hope you all like it as I  chose Monochromatic + 1 extra colour.  So for my colours I have chosen shades of brown + green as my extra colour.

There is another fabulous prize up for offer for the winner this month kindly donated by
                                                         Bizzy Becs online store

                                                       Spellbinder Die   D-Lite die  


For my card I have chosen an image from the Store- Blue Butterfly Digi "Burlesque Bessie"  from the Pin Up Girls series which I have coloured in Sepia using the green as an accessory with my copics.  I have also used  Spellbinders Decorative Labels One and Labels One which are available for pre order in the store here.  Also used are some of the elements from Card Kit #4 which are fabulous value for money along with extra flowers from my own stash.  Bec is adding new kits all the time so check them out here.  

I have also used a free sentiment which is available as a download on the challenge blog here.  If you look in the right hand side bar there are lots of others as well. ( Don't forget if you use them give credit to Bec.)

Thanks for dropping by, happy crafting.

Friendship

Welcome to a new challenge at Bizzy Becs .  The theme this month  being February is 'FRIENDSHIP' and was chosen by Michelle.

The prize this month is:

 your choice of '5' digital images from Bizzy Becs online store

I  have chosen to present my image on a 6 x 6 canvas which I firstly covered in gesso and then using the background papers from the ' Card Embellishment Kit 4' which is available in store here and are always very popular after adhering it to the canvas, I then dry brushed with gesso and inked around the edges with dark brown ink.

The image used is a magnolia stamp called 'Up Up and Away' and is from the new With Love collection 2013 and whilst it is not currently available in store there are still some others from that collection that can be found here.  I have coloured her with Copic Markers.  The quote I found online and is by Eleanor Roosevelt about True Friends.  Once reduced it fitted perfectly onto a Magnolia die cut tag.

So pop on over to Bizz Becs Store Blog here and check out my other teamies fabulous creations to get you inspired.  

Hopefully the issue with Blogger is now all resolved and I look forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks for visiting and Happy Crafting.

Have a fabulous day

Karen
